Joseph's Silver Cup Found in Benjamin's SackBible World
44:11Genesis 44:11
Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
When accused of taking the cup, the brothers speedily lowered every man's sack to the ground and opened each one for searching. The steward searched the sacks in order, beginning with Reuben the eldest and going down to the youngest. The governor's silver cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
The discovery left them shocked, distressed and speechless, and in utter wretchedness they tore their garments and returned sadly to the city. They felt the hand of God was against them, bringing their past wickedness upon them. By their own promise Benjamin was liable to a lifetime of slavery, which they feared would fully realize their father's fears and cause him to lose his beloved son.
